    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

84 GS 550L Charging issues

read threads from 2007 thru 2009 And the Stator Papers regards need to upgrade from one pole to three pole (phase) .

forum threads appear to indicate that neither the Suzuki OEM or Electrosport or Rick's actually solve the problem of either not charging enough or cooking everything incl the battery .

I just acquired an 84 GS550L with 10,000 K's , mint condition, and been having problems with starting , charging and I might be having ignition issues and don't even know it ....after all there are four plugs to feed instead of two.

Trying to source after market upgrades for stator, rectifier and high energy coil
that will solve my issues with this bike.

If there are any members out there that have had an in-line four from mid 80's and can steer me in the right direction , would greatly appreciate it .

I offer inexpensive Honda Regulator kits wired for the GS shipped for 47.50 dollars to Canada. Cheap insurance against charging system problems.
